Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[kenshinz]

price of the kit is printed on the box itself. it is the last few numbers on the series of numbers above the barcode.
that price is the recommended retail price. if u go to yodobashi camera or bic camera dept store in jap, the kits are 20-30% off this price.

Thanks. I'll be in Osaka for a few days so would be making a trip to Nipponbashi Den Den town which should have more choices and hopefully cheaper prices

usually hobby shop will sell at the recommended retail price, unless there is some clearance sale. so yodobashi or bic is usually cheaper. there is a bic near namba station, and yodobashi is at umeda station... so just compare around before buying

Need help

Guys need help about my airbrush compressor. I have a twin piston w/ tank compressor. Once the tank is full it auto shuts off but releases the air in the head valve.. so it keeps on the loop On and Off. If I turn off the switch, it releases all the air
Not sure what happened.

Any ideas? appreciate your help.

I planning to get 2 more swords for the MG Sengoku Astray.

Something similar to the 2 swords for MG Astray Red Frame Lowe Guele's Customize.
I can't find any online stores selling the swords separately.

What's the best way to do it?
- Making my own swords. (which I have no idea how)
- Buying another MG kit just for the swords
- Buying bootleg kits just for the swords



Pardon my noob question.

I think hobbymate has got 3rd party chrome swords specially for MG astray.

I *might* have 2 spare from the MG since I don't need them.

Can check myhmshop. I know there are metal versions of the red frame blade:

Pre-order - 1/100 Red Frame Metal Katana Sword - sold out

They're out of stock now so can search around ebay or online shops for it.

Ah, I see. I ordered mine from elsewhere liao! Thanks!!

But if you don't need your 2 spare, perhaps we can discuss about them or something?
